Thanks this is a good recommendation. Any particular neighborhoods you'd recommend? In the city or close in suburb?[/quote]

for the burbs, Sewickley, Franklin Park, places north of the city

Sewickley and Franklin Park are very nice but also very pricey.

In the South Hills, I’m thinking of Dormont or Bethel Park or maybe some of the city neighborhoods like Brookline. Further south in Washington County, there are a lot of towns with low costs of living - they can also look in Butler County but I do not know any specific towns.

One thing about the Pittsburgh area is that rents are pretty expensive - it may have changed with interest rates but it is typically less expensive to buy here [/quote]

My friend lived near Dormont.  It's not fancy but it was low cost.  And there are hills where you have a view of the city from your yard.  You probably will be driving everywhere though.[/quote]

PP.  Sorry, need to correct myself.  I do agree with Dormont but the house with the hills with the view is near Millvale on the north of Pittsburgh.  Sort of a mirror image of the South Hills.

Basically you want to look for neighborhoods with older, smaller houses.  Not busy areas, not areas chosen for good schools.  Just modest, safe neighborhoods.[/quote]
